A plain text can fall flat fast. A thumbs-up reply rarely gets a laugh.
Funny stickers for iPhone messages fix that. They say what you feel in one tap, and they work on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Below you’ll find 150 ready-to-send captions and a quick guide to making your own.
Best Funny Stickers for iPhone Messages
Funny iMessage stickers add tone, timing and personality to a chat. Here is what to know before you send your first one.
Stickers are not the same as emojis. They are larger and more expressive, and you can place them on a message bubble. Apple’s guide to sending stickers in Messages shows where they live. Tap the plus icon next to the text field, then tap Stickers.
Most funny iPhone stickers fall into four types:
- Meme stickers copy a popular joke or format.
- Emoji stickers are large, animated versions of faces you already know.
- Text stickers put a bold phrase right on the image.
- Reaction stickers show a mood, like side-eye or a happy dance.
To use one, tap it to send. You can also drag it onto a bubble, resize it, or layer it with others. You and your friends need iOS 17.2 or later to see the newest sticker updates, per Apple. Older phones may show them differently. Android users and plain SMS chats may not see them at all.
Pick the sticker by the audience:
- Close friends can take sarcasm and roasts.
- Family chats suit cute and wholesome stickers.
- Coworkers need light, safe humor.
- Partners love playful, flirty ones.
Funny stickers make everyday conversations more expressive, but some moments call for words that come straight from the heart. When you want to honor someone you’ve lost and keep their memory alive, these heartfelt death anniversary messages offer meaningful ways to express love, remembrance, and eternal connection.

How to Make Funny Meme Stickers for iPhone Messages
You can build funny meme stickers for iPhone messages in under a minute. You only need a photo and a joke.
How do you make funny stickers on iPhone? Open Messages and tap the plus icon. Tap Stickers, then the plus button, then pick a photo. Tap Add Sticker to save it. You can also open Photos, touch and hold the subject until it lifts, and tap Add Sticker. Apple walks through the same steps in its guide to creating Live Stickers.
Can you make a moving sticker? Yes. Pick a Live Photo to get an animated Live Sticker. A Live Photo records about 1.5 seconds of video before and after the shot, and the sticker loops that motion, as GadgetHacks explains.
Can you change how a sticker looks? You can add effects. BGR lists Shiny, Puffy, Comic and Outline.
Use these tips for better results:
- Pick a clear subject with a plain background.
- Choose big, exaggerated faces, because they read well when small.
- Use bold lettering and high contrast for text stickers.
- Add a caption from the list above in Markup.
- Keep jokes inside your circle, like pets, friends and family.
Ask permission before turning someone else’s photo into a sticker. Also check that sticker packs from the App Store are free, or that you are comfortable with the price.
